Abstract: In a method and apparatus for analysing an electronic image signal, the signal is treated as representing one or more cells each comprising a plurality of pixels. A set of pointers is generated and sequentially set according to characteristic values related to detailed image content. The pointers are used to address a memory array and for successive frames, the value of an address in each array row indicated by the pointer corresponding to that row is updated. In this way, for each frame the characteristic values can be accumulated so that in a single operational mode, both a time history of the image, stored in a memory, is updated and an indication is produced indicative of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event not associated with image background. The characteristic values can be generated by randomly or pseudo-randomly selecting pairs of pixels and for each, generating a binary signal depending on whether or not the intensity of incident light on a predetermined one of the pair is greater than the intensity on the other. Over all the rows, the values in the addresses being updated can be summed, as well as the maximum value in each row. The ratio of the two sums can be time weighted averaged with respect to the ratios obtained from previous frames. The ratio is compared with the average and the result used to determine the occurrence or non-occurrence of a significant event within the image. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A backing or carrier plate for noble food items such as salmon parts is traditionally a thin, stiff cardboard plate laminated with aluminium foil, which is imprinted with a noble colour lacquer such as "gold". There are serious problems connected with this layout, and the invention solves these problems in providing for the cardboard plates to be laminated with food grade plastic sheets on both sides, these sheets being left with their surfaces uncoated or unimprinted so as to still be food grade. The important colouring is arranged inside of the surface, e.g. by using an imprint in the negative on the sheet surface facing the cardboard plate or by using a coloured lamination glue.

Abstract: An improved assembly of a syringe and a nozzle tip for aspirating marrow blood from a surgical site and a method for using this improved syringe. The syringe includes a nozzle tip of special construction which has a sleeve portion, which fits on the free end of the barrel of the syringe, and a curved aspirating nozzle end. The nozzle tip includes a filter screen of preselected mesh size. A sufficient amount of marrow blood is aspirated through the curved aspirating nozzle end and the filter screen of the nozzle tip, thereby moving a preselected amount of marrow blood into the barrel of the syringe. The aspirated marrow blood then mixes with the granules of bone regeneration material disposed in the barrel of the syringe to form a viscous fluid mixture therein. The excess marrow blood, if any, is expelled through the curved aspirating nozzle end by applying a moderate manual pressure to the plunger of the syringe. After visual inspection of the formed viscous fluid mixture in the syringe, the nozzle tip is then manually removed from the syringe and the viscous fluid mixture is applied to a surgical site by applying manually pressure on the plunger of the syringe. The filter screen is mounted inside a flange adjoining the sleeve portion in the nozzle tip. This filter screen has openings of predetermined mesh size to prevent the granules of bone regeneration material from exiting through the nozzle tip during the aspirating of the marrow blood into the syringe barrel and prior to the removal of the nozzle from the syringe barrel and the expelling of the viscous mixture to a surgical site. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A television receiver with an electronic program guide (EPG) is disclosed, which allows a user to navigate through an overview of scheduled television programs each belonging to one of a plurality of program categories. Upon highlighting a program item in the guide, or upon highlighting a pictogram representing an available program category, the receiver produces (14) an auditive signal (AUD) which is characteristic of the relevant program category. This provides an additional feedback to the user which eases the process of navigating through on-screen EPG menus. In embodiments of the receiver, the respective auditive signal is also produced as an alert signal (reminder) that a desired program is about to start. A sequence of such reminders may be given at different instants of time before the program starts. By manipulating (15) a parameter, which is characteristic of a perceived distance from user to receiver (e.g. volume), the auditive signal also indicates the time to lapse until the start of the desired program.

Abstract: The flame arrester comprises a flow passage in which are disposed a plurality of generally aligned rods such that fluids flowing in the passage must pass between the rods. Rows of rods are used to construct the flame arrester element, ideally closely spaced and these present a natural surface over which air can flow with minimal flow resistance. The rods can be of any size and the gaps between them can be selected to arrest explosions due to different gases or vapours in air. The rod diameter can be altered to withstand different levels of explosion pressure, making it possible to construct both deflagration and detonation flame arresters. If tubes are used these can carry cooling fluid making the arrester more effective at coping with continuous burning. Rods in parallel rows can be offset with respect to the adjacent row. Suitable offset angles can vary.
